Default throttle cable stuck at wide open throttle

This is the second time during hard acceleration the car got stuck at wide open throttle,.


Should I change the cable?

Could it be something else?

There is probably a ridge in the throttle body. Mine did that and I adjusted he set screw on it so it wouldnt slam shut and get stuff. It didnt affect my idle at all.
